QUEST
3D High Frequency Inductance Extractor

QUEST calculates 3D frequency dependent inductance, resistance, capacitance and capacitive loss for any multi-port network for RF SPICE analysis. QUEST creates frequency dependent SPICE models for W-element transmission lines, spiral inductors and MIM capacitors from GDSII layouts using an interactive GUI interface.

Key Features

• Calculates frequency dependent or independent spiral inductor standard SPICE models directly from GDSII layout and technology files
   
• Calculates frequency dependent W-element transmission line SPICE models directly from GDSII layout and technology files
   
• Calculates frequency dependent multi-port S-parameter models directly from GDSII layout and technology files for use in RF SPICE for any arbitrary layout and structure
   
• Calculates L, C or R coupling effects between conductors
   
• Includes frequency dependent material permittivity to account for lossy dielectrics
   
• Built-in GUI with Design Of Experiments (DOE) feature allows designers to easily optimize design
